Shark Week 2025 Night #5 (Thursday, July 24th) Preview

"Surviving Jaws" (8:00 pm ET/PT): Fifty years ago, Jaws changed the beachgoing experience forever – striking fear into millions of Americans who vowed to never go in the water again. Now, marine biologist Tom "Blowfish" Hird and predator ecologist Michelle Jewell re-examine the movie and dive with Great Whites to separate fact from fiction, answering questions like: Does skinny dipping really attract great white sharks? Could a monster shark chew through a boat's hull?

"Caught! Sharks Strike Back" (9:00 pm ET/PT): This year has set a record for shark encounters captured on camera, from a hilarious moment when a shark slaps a fisherman in the face to the intense 10-minutes a great white stalked a kayaker… these are craziest moments of when sharks strike back.

"Frankenshark" (10 pm ET/PT): Shark expert Tristan Guttridge and his team use CGI to create the ultimate apex predator. Pulling from a variety of shark species, they build the deadliest, weirdest shark on the planet and put it to the test in a high-stakes showdown against a killer orca.
